The API included in the <filename

class='headerfile'>hb.h</filename> file will not change in a
|
|
compatibility-breaking way in any release. However, other,
|
|
peripheral headers are more likely to go through minor
|
|
modifications. We will do our best to never change APIs in an
|
|
incompatible way. We will <emphasis>never</emphasis> break the ABI.

<title>Building on Linux</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>(1)</emphasis> To build HarfBuzz on Linux, you must first install the
|
|
development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib. The exact
|
|
commands required for this step will vary depending on
|
|
the Linux distribution you use.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For example, on an Ubuntu or Debian system, you would run:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<command>sudo apt install</command> <package>gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev</package>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, or other Red-Hat–based systems, you would run:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<command>sudo yum install</command> <package>gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel</package>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>(2)</emphasis> The next step depends on whether you
|
|
are building from the source in a downloaded release tarball or
|
|
from the source directly from the git repository.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>(2)(a)</emphasis> If you downloaded the HarfBuzz
|
|
source code in a tarball, you can now extract the source.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
From a shell in the top-level directory of the extracted source
|
|
code, you can run <command>./configure</command> followed by
|
|
<command>make</command> as with any other standard package.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This should leave you with a shared
|
|
library in the <filename>src/</filename> directory, and a few
|
|
utility programs including <command>hb-view</command> and
|
|
<command>hb-shape</command> under the <filename>util/</filename>
|
|
directory.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>(2)(b)</emphasis> If you are building from the source in the HarfBuzz git
|
|
repository, rather than installing from a downloaded tarball
|
|
release, then you must install two more auxiliary tools before you
|
|
can build for the first time: <package>pkg-config</package> and
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.complang.org/ragel/">ragel</ulink>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
On Ubuntu or Debian, run:

|
<programlisting>
|
|
<command>sudo apt-get install</command> <package>autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools</package>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, run:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<command>sudo yum install</command> <package>autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</package>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
With <package>pkg-config</package> and <package>ragel</package>
|
|
installed, you can now run <command>./autogen.sh</command>,
|
|
followed by <command>./configure</command> and
|
|
<command>make</command> to build HarfBuzz.

On Windows, consider using Microsoft's free <ulink

There are two ways to build HarfBuzz on Mac systems: MacPorts

<emphasis>(2)(b)</emphasis> Alternatively, if you are building

HarfBuzz from the source in the HarfBuzz git repository, then

|
you must install several built-time dependencies before
|
|
proceeding.
|
|
</para>
